@mosgaard (edit: not as simple as I thought) if it's just meters, you could connect them to your output's monitors, if your output has monitors and you're not playing anything else at the same time

@jmorahan good idea putting meters on the monitor.

I just checked out Easy Effects and if it could do VST3s, that would be awesome. Seems the difference between Easy Effects and Carla, is that Easy Effects creates a dedicated sink, which keeps the connection to ex. the music app, even if a number is changed.

If I route from the music app to Carla (or Bitwig/Ardour), it loses the connection when a new track starts playing.

I have to look more into this. It's interesting.

So, when I play back a music in #Audacity via the #ALSA interface of #Pipewire, it is roughly 3dB* more quiet than when I play back the same piece from my #DAW / #Ardour via the #Jack interface. When I play back the file in good old Clementine player via Jack, it's also as it should be.

Things like this make me nervous. Okay I exported my music from Ardour or #Mixbus in the current case, just wanna check the file again, so Audacity… and then it all of sudden sounds differently.

*: I have a digital audio console with peak-hold meters at the other end, so it's not just by ear.

I have a #Pipewire question: I wanted to use a couple of meters through Carla, when listening to music on the Gnome Music app, and it seems, that everytime I change my tune, Pipewire drops the connection from Music to Carla, and resets to the speaker instead.

Would it be possible to lock the connection between Music and Carla when both apps are open?

The "Pro Audio" profile in #Pipewire has vanished for my #mAudio #airHub.

I have Pipewire 1.4.10 from a PPA. on #UbuntuStudio 24.04

I don't have time right now to look into this. But things like this make me nervous. What if this happens on my Laptop just the day I need to record a show from a digital console via USB?

"Pro Audio" also went away for my 100% professional and much needed Dante AVIO USB audio interface. WTF?

EDIT: So, I ran the UbuntuStudio audio config something and selected "switch configuration" and found out I was not using Pipewire at all! I was using only PulseAudio. Which has no Pro Audio of course. The really crazy thing about this however is: Something made the switch automatically, likely by (un)insdalling some packages. It's kind of a dark magic! This is Windows 11 behaviour, not #Linux… argl!
